Support for Peace and Education Development Programme (SPEDP) is excited to announce the launch of data collection for the Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) Project, aimed at enhancing health service delivery across South Sudan. This initiative, backed by the Ministry of Health with funding from the Global Fund through UNDP, will involve quarterly data collection to evaluate the quality of services in terms of availability, accessibility, affordability, and effectiveness, specifically for HIV, TB, and malaria treatment.
The CLM Project will target twenty health facilities across eight states, with the gathered data being used to advocate for equitable health service delivery, ensuring all individuals have access regardless of their socio-economic status. This initiative is a continuation of SPEDP’s successful efforts in health and development within South Sudan, where the organization has worked for over a decade to improve outcomes in health, education, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), and Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
“I am pleased to begin supervising data collection for the Community-Led Monitoring project, which we believe will help identify service gaps at Juba Teaching Hospital,” said Asha Mary, Project Assistant at SPEDP. “My role is to oversee data collection in the TB and malaria departments, while ART (HIV) data collection will be managed by our partner at the facility.”
Out of the twenty health facilities involved, SPEDP will focus on TB and malaria data collection in Juba, Yei, Nimule, and Torit, leaving HIV data collection to the respective partner organizations in these locations.
